Visitors to customer links

When someone clicks a whybuy.my link, we log the request to count the click and protect the network, then send the visitor to the customer's destination. Once the visitor arrives there, the destination site's own privacy practices apply. Customers are responsible for the privacy compliance of their own destinations, forms, and tracking parameters.

We do not sell personal information. We share it only with service providers who help us operate the service, such as our hosting provider, email provider, and PayPal, and where required by law or to protect our rights.

Retention

We keep customer records for as long as your account is active and afterwards as needed for tax, accounting, dispute, and legal-compliance purposes. Server logs are retained for a limited period consistent with security needs.
